Intro 1
(F major) (C major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 1
I can't (C major) sleep
when I'm straining to hear
the (G major) reindeer on my roof.
All night long I'm wide awake to hear
reindeer (C major) on my roof.
What was (F major) that? The (C major) wind.
What (F major) was that? A (C major) bird. I (D major) can't sleep
cause I (G major) wanna hear Santa Claus.
I just (D major) got to keep (G major) my eyes open.
(C major) Last year I fell asleep
and I never heard
reindeer (G major) on my roof.
Dasher and Dancer and
Comet and Dixon.
(C major) Reindeer on my roof.
Last (F major) year ashes came
down the chimney
Daddy (C major) said there was proof (A major)
Proof (D major) that Santa Claus came (G major)
And there were reindeer on the (C major) roof
I'm embedded in my head
I'm turn (G major) ing upside down
I'm awake you see
And I must be the (C major) jumpiest kid in town
I (F major) can hear people murmuring
through (C major) my bedroom door (A major) footsteps
(D major) passing someone laughing
what (G major) are they whispering for last (C major) year
Santa Claus ate all the cookies left (G major) just
a couple of crumbs sister asleep
I won't wake her when the
(C major) magic moment comes
when (F major) the house is quiet
on the (C major) longest night of the year
(A major) I'll (D major) be the only one (G major) waking up
And I know what I'll (C major) hear
So I can't sleep when I'm
straight in the here
The (G major) reindeer on my roof
All night long I'm wide
awake to hear
Reindeer (C major) on my roof
What (F major) was that? The (C major) wind
What (F major) was that?
A (C major) bird I (D major) can't sleep
cause I (G major) wanna hear Santa Claus
I just (D major) got to (G major) keep my eyes open
Last (C major) year I fell asleep
and I never heard a (G major) reindeer on my roof
Dasher and dancer, common vixen,
reindeer (C major) on my roof
Last (F major) year ashes came
down the chimney,
(C major) daddy said there was proof (A major)
Proof (D major) that Santa Claus came (G major)
and there were reindeer on the (C major) roof
Merry (G major) Christmas to all,
to all, all night long. (C major)
What (F major) was that? (C major) What (F major) was
that? (C major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
Last (C major) year I fell asleep
I've never heard
reindeer (G major) on my roof
Dasher and dancer, comic and fixer
Reindeer (C major) on my roof
Last (F major) year ashes came
down the chimney
Daddy (C major) said that was proof (A major)
Proof (D major) that Santa Claus came (G major)
And there were reindeer on the (C major) roof
Oh, I can't sleep when
I'm straining to hear
The (G major) reindeer on my roof
All night long I'm wide awake
to hear reindeer on (C major) my roof. (C major)
But what was that, a wind?
What was that, a bird?
I can (D major) 't sleep cause (D major) I
want to hear Santa Claus.
I just got to keep my eyes open.
